[ Cisco leans back against Eddie, lets out a long sigh. Some of the tension in his shoulders and back leaves with that exhale; when Eddie asks how Caitlin reacted, Cisco smiles. ]

I did, and it was. She was totally cool about it. Like, I knew she probably would be, but...

[ He trails off, shrugs, sure that Eddie will be able to fill in the rest. Cisco had had plenty of opportunities to come out to Caitlin before, but he'd never had to, because he hadn't dated any guys steadily enough that she would notice. And before the issue had been pressed, he'd chosen not to. Because even that slim chance that she would react poorly seemed like reason enough to just not mention it. ]

She said I deserved someone who made me happy, and I told her you do.

[ Which seems worth mentioning, considering it's Eddie who is going to be taking his turn, next. Cisco knows how much bravery it's going to take. Maybe it's a bit selfish, being glad that Eddie says he'll need to see him, probably, because he'll be upset or at least emotional over his brunch. But in his current frame of mind, the idea of being needed is an appealing one. ]

Couple tears never hurt anyone.

[ Cisco says it gently, coaxingly. He knows that crying isn't the easiest thing, for Eddie. Hopefully it won't be as hard if he just accepts it as an inevitability, for that conversation at least. ]
